Installing a web server in Ubuntu

This post describes a simple web server installation. The installation was performed on a computer with x32 architecture.

Download the package with the server in a temporary directory:

cd /tmp && cd /tmp && wget http://goo.gl/CAXLhV -O xampp-installer-i386.run

Make it executable:

chmod +x xampp-installer-i386.run

Run the installer:

sudo ./xampp-installer-i386.run

Next, a window with an ordinary installation of the program (as in the systems of the Windows family). After installation we get installed: Apache, PHP, Perl, mysql, phpmyadmin. After you can start the server using the graphical control panel or using command in console:

sudo /opt/lampp/lampp start

sudo /opt/lampp/lampp stop

sudo /opt/lampp/lampp restart

sudo /opt/lampp/lampp status
